It would be interesting if in a top tournament like that,we had a different
rating system. Like football for example. Win=3 points/Lose=0/Draw=1.
Then The King would have won:

Program	Wins  Draws   Loses   Points
--------------------------------------
TheKing	  8	1	2	25
Ruffian	  7	3	1	24
C.T-X	  6	4	1	22
Rebel	  6	3	2	21
Isichess  6	2	3	20
Dsjeng	  4	7	0	19
Diep	  5	3	3	18
The Baron 5	0	6	15
Tao	  4	3	4	15
Xinix	  3	3	5	12
Ant	  2	4	5	10
Nullmover 2	1	8	7
Zzzzz	  1	2	8	5
Gnu	  0	0	11	0
-------------------------------------
I can't decide which rating system (football or chess) is best and as we saw,
it does matter what system we use.
